Family Snippits
At least once every night, Della wakes upset and when I go to comfort her, she tells me she wants Daddy, not me. She usually says so before or after I discover Bill has woken and left the toilet lid up (which NEVER happens any other time). For some reason these 2 things happening daily are starting to take their toll. I wonder what my partner and first born think of me when they aren't filtering as actively as they must when awake.
I dreamed Elise's first word was/will be "kiss."
Elise is growing so darn fast. She's had some digestive issues lately and the pain she appears to be experiencing is heart wrenching. She rarely cries and is usually easily soothed by rocking. When she's in pain, she's loud. Like all babies she loves watching the "light box" or in our case whatever tv/movies we watch online. She adores Dell and seems to light up especially for her when she hears or sees her. Elise has an incredible smile and nice chubby limbs. She is a keeper, for sure. :) We have started her on the Baby Einstein videos and had I known they would work for both her and Adele, I would have long ago stuck them both in front of one. I'm glad I didn't wait much longer. There are some issues of territory gently developing but I think things will be okay for awhile between sisters.
We've been trying to watch more kid friendly media and after being totally disgusted by Annie and Shirley Temple, I reluctantly decided to give Hannah Montana a try. OMG I love that sh*t! The intro song is a big hit for all here...I guess High School Musical is next. It could be worse, we could all be up in some Disney Princess a** right now so while still in "Disneyland" I'm feeling the teen scene stuff may be a winner for all involved.
So far, being a mom of 2 is almost completely life draining. I get refueled when I see one's big new smile or hear the other's surprised but developing laughter. Looking into their gorgeous brown eyes and seeing what, so far, seems to be delight is worth what being a mom does to hasten life's final curtain.
